What is Coaching?

Coaching is a transformative conversation for your career and life. There are two types of conversation that shape your perspective and guide your decisions: an internal conversation you have with yourself, and the external conversation you have with others.

Together we will explore your goals, values and perceptions and connect with your leader within that’s ready to be ignited through creative thinking.

I’ve spent years applying design thinking within organizations to reinvent products and drive growth. I’ll apply the same design approach with the CTI methodology to help you maximize your career.
